Watch: Blue Dragon Anime teaser

Next week on April 7 the Blue Dragon anime is going to air in Japan. Studio Pierrot is producing 51 episodes of the series and the first episode is called “Shadow, Initiate”. Before the series begins to air in Japan you can see a sneak peek past the break.

Duuuuude! That looks so sweet! Damn I wish I had a 360 and that game… The anime looks like it’s going to be some good shit i’ll be watching it for sure! I better make hard drive space quick!

The setting and characters’ roles/relationship are obviously different from the game’s (Jiro’s supposed to be Shu’s childhood friend), since it’s being made into a whole year worth of anime.

The thing I dislike the most is the new cast since I’ve gotten used to the original cast over the course of 60 hours. I preferred Inoue Marina’s Shu, and Zola’s voice is too deep here, the main villian Nene’s voice is not nearly menacing enough (he was voiced by Cell from DBZ in the game), I dont see why they needed to change it.. It would take some getting used to, guess I would find out this Sat.

Been looking forward to the anime ever since playing the game. It’s interesting that most people here would get to see the anime first before having a chance to play the game though.
